Miniaturized HPLC-MS Workflows to Characterize the Protein Cargo of Extracellular Vesicles: a Viable Approach to Study Intercellular Communication
Christian Huber trained as an analytical chemist at the University of Innsbruck focusing on chromatographic separation methods for biopolymers. After a PostDoc in Csaba Horváth’s group at Yale University in 1996, he obtained lecturing qualification in analytical chemistry at the University of Innsbruck in 1997. As an associated professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Innsbruck from 1997 to 2002, he developed monolithic, capillary-scale stationary phases for hyphenating high efficiency nucleic acid-, peptide-, and protein separations to mass spectrometry. From 2002-2008 he held a position as professor for analytical chemistry at Saarland University, where he started working in the field of multidimensional chromatography as well as proteome/metabolome analysis and mass spectrometry data mining. Since 2008, he is a professor of chemistry for biosciences at the University of Salzburg. His current research interests include proteome and metabolome analysis of biological models for disease as well as in-depth (therapeutic) protein characterization by means of HPLC and MS.
